In this metaphor, the people tearing down the facade of the truman show are also the people who built and maintained the facade of the truman show?

It continues to be galling that the dismemberment and burning of the dead bodies is constantly trotted out as evidence of Hamas barbarism when those injuries are far FAR more consistent with the use of heavy munitions. I would ask if they think we're stupid but I know the answer to that question.

Yeah, what's this analogy supposed to mean? What's that from? Some barbarians tear down the screens. Isn't that a good thing? I mean the Truman show is about torturing one dude for entertainment of the world. Seems just to tear that poo poo down.

Yes that is the part that makes sense. He already said that Israel was content with living normal westoid consoomer lifestyles, so they are the Truman in the analogy. What doesn't make sense is the savages tearing down screens with machetes. The Truman Show was a fully realized environment inside a massive soundstage. The catch was that Truman could never leave his hometown. I think Bennet is getting his metaphors mixed up with The Wizard of Oz.

Australia might recognize palestinian statehood albeit in the only way a white country can

===========

‎"Recognizing a Palestinian state, which can only exist side by side with a secure Israeli state, will not only provide Palestinians with an opportunity to realize their aspirations," but "will also strengthen the forces of peace and undermine extremism. This will weaken Hamas, Iran and its other allies in the region."‎

Rewarding the al Aqsa flood with recognizing Palestine's statehood will weaken Hamas. I am very smart.

The entirety of the historical lesson is that a society based around suppressing the helots is incapable of economic or intellectual flourishing. For fucks sake.

I think this is kind of missing the point. Those things weren't generally important to Spartans. Sparta had a stable society for centuries, based around this sort of brutal repression. It's not like silicone valley is particularly good at encouraging economic or intellectual flourishing in its society. Where the idea breaks down imo is the idea of modern Spartiates having a non military job, even if it's just fart app development.

Spartan culture was oriented around a kind of fascist vision of militant homoeroticism, but with an ancient pansexual twist. They needed all that leisure time so both sexes could be constantly performing to peak physical shape with frequent view of each others' nude bodies. It was definitely the kind of society Bronze Age Pervert dreams of.

Being on a carrier as an enlisted person is already a hellish existence, Jesus loving Christ I would have been filling the AFFF lines full of JP5 in a week if that was my CO when I was in.

Has the US even continued guarding prosperity? Seems like they gave up on air strikes in like two week and are scared of getting boats anywhere near missile range.

AA should get a carrier group from the peace deal, it’s only fair.

Spara was very much no girls allowed dude. That was definitely not pan sexual, and nobody cared about women's bodies.

On her wedding night, a woman had her hair shaved like a soldier, was dressed in mens clothes, and went into her husband's chambers after dark.
